Have a wonderful day unless you’ve made other plans.  Or don’t have these shoes.

About Tangerine Jones:

Inspired by the legends of Black Hollywood and the deities of drag, funk and glam rock, Ms. Jones brings her own eclectic blend to the Neo-Burlesque stage.  No stranger to the stage, this voluptuous vixen is a classically trained theatre performer with an affinity for ethnic dance from Senegalese to Samba to Bhangra to Bellydance.  Whether it’s with the writhe and wind of a Santeria priestess, the shake and quake of a samba or down home shimmy of a juke joint singer, Ms. Jones pays tribute to the African Diaspora and the Black Burlesque and Vaudeville performers of yesteryear.  She seeks to establish a new cultural and erotic iconography for women of color and highlight the often-overlooked presence of people of color in our theatrical and cultural history.

Sublimefemme has contracted a terrible case of gay fatigue and has taken to her bed, where she’s sipping herbal tea and getting some much-needed rest and relaxation thanks to various mother’s little helpers.

PS  I lied about the herbal tea but the gay fatigue, I swear, is totally real.  It’s positively exhausting being as gay as I am, darlings!

Never underestimate the firepower of a femme.

It may be the perfect shade of lipstick, but not if it’s on your teeth.

(Turns out, this is true even if you are Mamie Van Doren.)

There’s a reason I’m smiling even though it’s 9 degrees.  It’s called bourbon.
